Get your own trial versions of R12

21/09/2009 by Simon Tomey.

I think the best way to get to grips with R12 is have a play with it (apart from implementing it that is). There’s a few providers who run a instance and let you log in remotely, however, there’ a limit to what you can do and the instances get refreshed frequently, so it’s better to get your own instance.

Check out Richard Byrom’s blog for details including how to get your own small footprint instance for under £1k.

One of the products mentioned is from AppsDBA. I’ve used some of their products and can recommend them.

The one I’ve found best for me is 11i and R12 on a laptop.
You can also get a VM (virtual machine) version of R12, but I found this slow on a laptop. (It comes supplied with a external HDD, but USB was too slow for me. You can load it onto your internal HDD, but then there seems to be a conflict of having your main apps and VM running on the same disk. It is fine though running on a dual core 3.5 GHz with 8Gb RAM (64 bit) and two internal HDDs)
